There can be no good monopoly in private hands until the Almighty sends us angels to preside over us. "There may be a despot who Is bet ter than another despot, but there is no good fleepatism. The defence of the monopoly is always placed on the ground that if you will allow people '.o control bhe market and fix tih? ' price they will be good to th? people who .purchase of tihern.

But I protest against set tling every question upon the dollar argument. ?
